- the physico-chemical characteristics of the solutions used are closely linked to the nature of the gas to be treated: selective elimination of an impurity, specification expected on the gas treated, thermal and chemical stability of the solvent with respect to the various compounds present in the gas to be treated.
- the solvents commonly used today include in particular aqueous solutions of primary, secondary or tertiary alkanolamines and optionally an organic co-solvent, such as methanol for example.
- an organic co-solvent such as methanol for example.

In addition, with water, it is possible to dispense with gas purification operations which are very often necessary, for example when the solvent is an organic compound such as for example methanol. Indeed, small amounts of solvent are inevitably entrained in the gases after separation of the carbon dioxide and impose additional and costly purification steps.

- the compound R(NH)n is imidazole or 1,2,4 triazole or 2 methyl imidazole or 4(5) methyl imidazole or 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole , because these compounds allow a good compromise between the rate of charge and the enthalpy of absorption.
- the R(NH) n compound can be chosen from imidazole, 2-methyl imidazole, 4(5) methyl imidazole.
- the solvent Z can be essentially water.
- the term "essentially” within the meaning of the present invention, the fact that in this case the solvent consists solely of water, without however excluding from the invention, the possibility of also having certain inherent impurities which could be included in the water.
- Solvent Z can alternatively be a mixture of solvents comprising water.

- water remains the main constituent.

- the operation of regenerating the absorbent composition can be carried out under conditions which require little energy and in particular less energy than the operation which would be necessary to regenerate the same quantity of CO 2 when the latter is extracted at the means of one or more primary, secondary or tertiary amines or of a composition of them leading to carbamates, to hydrogen carbonates or to carbonates according to the balanced reactions presented previously as known to those skilled in the art (FIG. 1 ) and conventionally used to capture CO 2 .

- the absorbent composition rich in CO 2 is introduced into a heat exchange device (E) so as to produce a warmed absorbent composition rich in CO 2 (12).
- the heat is provided by cooling the hot CO 2 -poor absorbent composition (13). This also results in a flow of cooled CO 2 -poor absorbent composition (10).

- the CO2 from stream (3) can be mixed with a stripping gas.
- the flow (3) can be connected to a device intended to cause the expansion of the CO2-rich separation medium and thus constitute all or part of the driving force of the regeneration.
- the hot CO2-poor separation stream (13) gives up its heat in the device (E) described above to supply the device (A) with a cooled CO2-poor separation medium (10) at the temperature suitable for the operating conditions of (A ).
- the temperature during step (A) can advantageously be between 20 and 80°C and preferably between 30 and 70°C.
- the stripping gas can for example be formed in situ by vaporization of one or more compounds present in the absorbent composition: it can be one of the compounds defined according to the invention, but it can also be a compound from the gas to be treated which would have been absorbed with the CO2, like water for example in the case of smoke.
- the stripping gas can also be supplied to the regeneration step: it can be, for example, nitrogen, water vapor or part of the treated gas from the absorption step.
- the absorbent composition consists of a mixture of compounds.
- the mixture is first degassed under vacuum, agitation and controlled temperature in order to desorb the residual gases including CO2.
- a known mass of mixture is then injected under an inert atmosphere into a closed reactor, in order to avoid any CO2 contamination of the environment.
- a vacuum is then created in the reactor until the saturated vapor pressure of the mixture is reached at the temperature of interest.
- volume of pure CO2 are injected into the reactor by discharge of calibrated ballast in order to reach the various pressure setpoints between 0 and 3 bars defined by an automaton.
- a 40-min plateau is carried out in order to obtain the liquid vapor equilibrium.
- the loading rate is determined.
- the loading rate is defined by those skilled in the art as being the number of moles of CO2 captured divided by the number of moles of the basic compound (base or mixture of bases) B present in the absorbent composition.
- the absorbent composition 1 (according to the invention) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH with 0.14 mol of imidazole and 70 g of water.
- the absorbent composition 2 (according to the invention) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH with 0.14 mol of 1,2,4 triazole and 70 g of water.
- the absorbent composition 3 (comparative) is obtained by mixing 30 g (0.49 mol) of monoethanolamine (MEA) with 40 g of water.
- This absorbent composition corresponds to a aqueous solution of ethanolamine (MEA) at 30% by weight which is a reference solvent well known to those skilled in the art for the capture of CO2 in flue gases.
- the absorbent composition 4 (comparative) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH and 70 g of water. This absorbent composition contains a hydroxide base, but does not contain the R(NH) n compound.
- the absorbent composition 5 (according to the invention) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH with 0.14 mol of 2-methylimidazole and 70 g of water.
- the absorbent composition 6 (according to the invention) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH with 0.14 mol of 4(5) methyl imidazole and 70 g of water.
- the absorbent composition 7 (according to the invention) is obtained by mixing 0.14 mol of KOH with 0.14 mol of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and 70 g of water.
- FIGS 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 show the absorption isotherms at 40, 60, 70, 80 and 90°C of C0 2 of mixtures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
- Table 1 shows, for the various absorbent compositions, the absorption enthalpies according to the same loading rate for comparison and the CO2 loading rate after absorption under 10 kPa at 40°C. Chart 1
